I decided that the ramp door on the conversion was too heavy the other day and wanted to increase the tension on the cables. What a PIA. 1. There is an aluminum shroud covering up the spring adjusters. 2. I had to take out the last section of ceiling and insulation to get to the screws for the...

Went this route on the way from New Mexico and Washington State. Will be going back there next year to boondock. There is a lot of BLM land between Natural Bridges and the Hite Marina. I spotted several boondocking honey holes on the way. I would see 3-4 rv?s and Travel trailers pulled off a...

Now the finishing touch. All in including paying sales tax and registration in WA. State. $11,288.25

Just got back from New Mexico to Washington State. Towed trailer about 1600 miles. Got a whopping 8.7 miles per gallon with the Toyota Tundra. I could literally watch the needle moving. Towed great even in some pretty high winds. Stayed one night at a Cracker Barrel parking lot (will need to...

Just picked up a couple of final items. A good fire extinguisher and a carbon monoxide/smoke detector. Will be heading back to Seattle from New Mexico next week.

This is their 9000 btu model (the smallest one they make).

Just set up the ac to run on the generator with propane. Think the ac uses about 800 watts. This is a 4000 watt generator and isn?t bogged down at all. This ac unit super cools the trailer and removes lots of water out of the air. Very pleased

Finished with the ac install. IT IS ALIVE.

Mounting outer unit of ac unit.

Putting roof coating on the roof. Out in the sun the aluminum roof got very hot.

Have gotten started on the conversion. So far painted floor with epoxy, installed insulation in ceiling and floors, installed awning. Getting ready to finish inside walls with nice plywood and put in a/c.

In about two weeks I am picking up a Haulmark 7x14 twin axle aluminum trailer that I am going to convert to a travel trailer. After stripping the inside I am going to insulate it, install a Murphy bed, an awning and a pioneer heat pump/ac. Will be picking it up in the Salt Lake City area on my...

Had the first occasion to try the cards. During the solar eclipse I went to central Oregon. There were upwards of 100,000 people converging on the area of Madras and Prineville. There were massive traffic jams on hwy 26 and 97. Big lines at the gas stations too. Rolled up on the card lock in...

They just approved me today. Say I will get my card in a couple of weeks. I signed up as an individual. They did set me up where the monthly bill comes straight out of my checking account.

Pacific Pride operates franchises. I applied at a local one. The gal in the office says they usually want a 200 gallon min per year. My guess is that if the local franchise wants your business they will put you on. I will find out soon enough when the get my application.
